Question

Give any four instances when an umpire can declare a batsman out.

Answer 1

1. Caught: A fielder catches the ball on the full after the hitter has hit it with their bat. However, if the defender catches the ball and subsequently touches or steps over the boundary, the batsman scores six runs and is not out.
2. Bowled: If a batsman misses a ball, it might hit and break the wicket directly from the pitcher.
3. Stumped: If a batsman misses the ball and in attempting to play it; steps outside his crease, he is out stumped if the wicket-keeper gathers the ball and breaks the wicket with it before the batsman can ground part of his body or his bat behind his crease.
4. Run Out: If a batsman is attempting to take a run, or to return to his crease after an aborted run and a fielder breaks that batsman's wicket with the ball while he is out of the crease. The fielder may either break the wicket with a hand which holds the ball, or with the ball directly.
